Inside a Tram Car in Zürich, Switzerland

The trams in Zürich are remarkably clean and timely. Like Swiss trains, they operate on a trust system. Passengers purchase tickets from vending machines at tram stops. These tickets are not checked when one boards. However, inspectors randomly hop on board to check passengers' tickets, and issue a fine for those caught riding without one.

Monitors mounted above display route information and the names of upcoming stops.


The windows are large and provide an excellent view of the city.


There is plenty of room for travelers bringing along luggage, etc. Bikes can be transported on trams for an additional fee.
